Caoimhin Kelleher: Had very little to do, but performed the basics well. 6
Nathan Collins: Was rarely seriously tested but Ireland’s skipper didn’t do much wrong. 6
John Egan: Just his second appearance under Heimir Hallgrímsson and first start, Egan was solid and looked as if he’d never been away. 6

Dara O’Shea: Arguably Ireland’s best player in Prague, had another good game with his deliveries into the box, causing North Macedonia problems. 7
Seamus Coleman: Wasn’t put under too much pressure defensively and was sporadically involved in some promising attacks. 6
Liam Scales: Back from suspension after being missed in Prague, Scales was defensively sound without offering too much down the other end. 6
Jayson Molumby: Put in a decent shift but looked a little tired after last week’s excursions and was replaced by Bosun Lawal in the second half. 6
Jason Knight: Had a quiet enough game but worked hard and got back well late on to stop a threatening attack from the visitors. 6
Finn Azaz: Had one good mazy run in the first half and was unlucky not to come away with at least one assist, threading Parrott through on multiple occasions. 7
Chiedozie Ogbene: Was Ireland’s main attacking outlet in the first half, but like in Prague, tired towards the end of the match. 7
Troy Parrott: Was unlucky to see his goal marginally ruled out for offside and consistently looked like the game’s most likely goalscorer. He was named the official man of the match. 7
Subs: Adam Idah and Johnny Kenny nearly combined for a last-gasp winner, but generally, the substitutes struggled to impact a stop-start second half. 6
